The Honda CR-V is a stylish, sporty, and reliable compact SUV, making it an amazing choice for a wide range of drivers. While it already gets fantastic fuel efficiency thanks to its small size and innovative engineering, if you're looking to go further between stops for gas, then you should check out a Honda CR-V Hybrid for sale. Honda offers six different trim levels for the CR-V, but only three of them feature the hybrid engine, which keeps things nice and simple as you explore your options. While all three of these trims have a lot in common, there are also some notable differences between them that we'll mention as we check this model out. So let's dig in and learn about the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid models so you can see why so many people are excited about this small SUV.

Performance and Efficiency

It's easy to get a sense of overall performance with the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid models because all three feature the same engine. Honda has loaded these up with a 2.0L hybrid I-4 engine that delivers 204 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque—this is combined output from the engine and battery-powered motor. That's excellent performance for a compact SUV like this, ensuring you have a great time on the road each day. This is paired with an electronic continuously variable transmission for an incredibly smooth and responsive drive, perfectly combining performance and efficiency to keep you on the road.

The Sport Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid models both come with front-wheel drive (FWD) standard, though they have Honda's Real-Time All-Wheel Drive (AWD) available. In contrast, the third option—the CR-V Sport Touring Hybrid—comes with AWD, which is worth keeping in mind if you want that kind of performance and other features it offers. Hybrid models with FWD get an estimated 43 MPG in the city, 36 MPG on the highway, and 40 MPG of combined fuel efficiency; AWD lowers those numbers slightly to an estimated 40 MPG in the city, 34 MPG on the highway, and 37 MPG of combined gas mileage.^[a] Note that the standard CR-V gets an estimated 28 MPG in the city, showing what a tremendous difference the hybrid engine makes.^[a]

Exterior Features and Options

Exterior features on the three CR-V hybrid models are quite similar, though there are a few differences to note. The Sport Hybrid and Sport-L Hybrid have the most in common since they both come with 18-inch wheels, while the Sport Touring Hybrid features larger 19-inch wheels—all three have all-season tires. Standard exterior features include LED headlights with auto-on/off functionality, LED taillights, and body-color door handles that look great. You get a remote entry system with every CR-V hybrid model, along with a body-color roofline spoiler with an integrated brake light making it easier for others to see when you're stopping.

Variable intermittent windshield wipers are standard, though the Sport Touring Hybrid model has rain-sensing wipers that come on automatically. You get Gloss Black side mirrors that are heated and feature integrated LED turn indicators on all three models, along with a one-touch power moonroof, a Smart Entry system with Walk Away Auto Lock functionality, and dual chrome exhaust finishers. When it comes to the rear tailgate, the Sport Hybrid has a standard tailgate, the Sport-L Hybrid features a power tailgate with programmable height, and the Sport Touring Hybrid adds hands-free access.

Interior Comfort Features

Inside the 2025 Honda CR-V, you'll find a beautifully designed and richly appointed interior; the hybrid models highlight this with stunning details. All three models come with dual-zone automatic climate control along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob—the Sport Touring Hybrid features heating for the steering wheel. This is a compact SUV with two rows of seating inside for up to five passengers, featuring 60/40 folding rear seats that let you easily adjust for added cargo space when you need it. You get heated front seats in all three hybrid models, which are perfect for cold winter mornings.

The Sport Hybrid model features standard cloth seating with a 10-way power-adjustable driver's seat, including two-way power lumbar. If you go with the Sport-L or Sport Touring Hybrid, however, then you get two-position memory functionality for the driver's seat, making it easier to share with a partner. These two models also have leather-trimmed seating with orange stitching for a nice touch of style, plus they have a four-way power-adjustable front-passenger seat to keep your co-pilot more comfortable. You get ambient lighting on the center console in all three models to create an inviting space, while the Sport Touring Hybrid features lighting on the door pulls and foot wells to take things even further.

Interior Tech Features and Options

Great comfort features are nice, of course, but we also love the tech that Honda has loaded the 2025 CR-V hybrid models with, making it easier to enjoy your drive each day. Adaptive Cruise Control is standard, for example, which can make your daily commute and long road trips much more relaxing. You also get LED map lights inside, LED cargo area lighting, and more. An automatic-dimming rearview mirror isn't standard, but it comes with the Sport-L and Sport Touring Hybrid trim levels. Plus, a standard seven-inch digital instrument cluster display makes it easy to keep track of important information while you drive.

The Sport Hybrid comes with a seven-inch touchscreen display for the infotainment system, along with a six-speaker sound system. If you want some enhanced tech features, then the two higher trims feature a nine-inch infotainment screen instead, and they both feature wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You get a wireless charging pad in the two higher trims; the Sport-L Hybrid comes with an eight-speaker sound system, while the Sport Touring Hybrid features a 12-speaker Bose Premium sound system. Honda also offers a navigation system, Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, and more in this higher trim that you won't find on the other two CR-V hybrid models.

Advanced Safety Technology

As much as we love great fuel efficiency, comfortable seating, and excellent sound systems, none of those things matter if your vehicle can't keep you safe. Fortunately, every CR-V Hybrid model comes with a comprehensive suite of Honda Sensing driver-assistance technologies, including a Collision Mitigation Braking System featuring a Forward Collision Warning and Brake Assist. You also get a Road Departure Mitigation System, Lane Keeping Assist, a Lane Departure Warning, and more. Traffic Sign Recognition helps you keep track of changing speed limits and other signage, plus you get a Driver Attention Monitor to let you know if you seem to be tired or distracted while driving.

Going further than many other vehicles out there, every CR-V Hybrid model comes with a Blind Spot Information System to warn you when a vehicle is lurking where you can't see it, along with a Cross Traffic Monitor for when you're backing up and someone is about to pass behind you. Auto High-Beam Headlights and a Rear Seat Reminder are also standard, ensuring these hybrid models are incredibly safe. The only features the two higher trims have that aren't standard are front and rear Parking Sensors and Low-Speed Braking Control to help with navigating parking lots and similar places. Otherwise, all three hybrid models are well appointed and decked out to protect you.

Is a Honda CR-V Hybrid Right for You?

As you can see, there's a lot to love about the 2025 Honda CR-V Hybrid models, with only a few minor differences between them. Going with the standard model, you get fantastic performance and fuel efficiency, along with great features inside and out. Moving up to the higher trims can get you a few nice extras, like larger wheels, more safety tech, and a larger infotainment screen inside, but you can't go wrong with any of these three hybrid SUVs. Choosing the right one comes down to understanding what you need from your vehicle and then picking the model that delivers it all. Once you know what you want in a compact SUV, then we will handle everything else and make sure you get a vehicle that you'll enjoy driving for many years.
